Ha! This isn't a wish list post.

[-] schnapsman@lemmy.world 17 points 11 months ago

This list aligns pretty well with mine.. It's easier and more satisfying than you expect to boycott companies like amazon.

[-] slazer2au@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

Are you sure? A fair chunk of the internet is run through AWS making avoiding them much harder.

[-] schnapsman@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

That's a good point. We can start with what we control by not buying crap from them directly.

[-] Sir_Fridge@lemmy.world 3 points 11 months ago

True. And while I try to, I'm not gonna stop watching twitch because amazon owns it. I won't however donate through bits but only through direct donations.

Full boycott is difficult for a lot of shitty companies. But I limit it as mich as possible.

Where do you source clothing?

[-] the_of_and_a_to@lemmy.world 15 points 11 months ago

I rarely buy clothes nowadays but I like to stick to ethical brands. Most of my wardrobe consists of Asket and Patagonia clothing. Buying second-hand is a great option too. I don't want to judge anyone, I'm just lucky enough to be able to afford clothing that lasts long and save money that way, according to boots theory. I'm doing this for 5+ years now and from my personal judgement, it really pays off.

[-] captainjaneway@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

I'm still buying a lot of my clothes second hand but the nice stuff I'll go out of my budget for.

Fast fashion isn't even considered clothing for some peaple. XD Just put your jeans, your t-shirt and your sneakers and go to work, the modern slave outfit.

[-] pineapplelover@lemm.ee 2 points 11 months ago

I try as much as I can but I find it hard to avoid any car manufacturer and Amazon. I'm trying my best to not go to Amazon and rather to Ebay or microcenter if I can though. As for fast fashion, I am planning to go thrifting or to goodwill.
